Some medical marijuana dispensaries approved in Oregon

Medford, Ore. -- The Oregon Health Authority has approved eight medical marijuana dispensaries. Seven of them have waived their confidentiality and allowed the OHA to publish their locations.

The OHA says they've processed 50 applications out of 288 received since its launch on March 3rd. Besides the eight approved applications, 22 will receive provisional licenses. 20 applications were denied for various reasons ranging from incomplete information to facility locations that are within 1,000 feet of a licensed dispensary or a school.

The dispensaries may open for business as soon as they receive their registration certificates.
